I really liked this book, a lot. The Frankenstein series, in my opinion, is one of the best stories ever. But, if you want to read it, you should read the first Frankenstein book in the series beforehand. I only have one tiny issue with this book and series so far; it’s that you have to read them all consecutively or else the whole story will not make any sense because when you finish one book, it’s not the end of the story line in that book. It continues into the next book. It isn’t a real problem, though, because the series is amazing. I have never read anything like this before, and I thought it was really, really cool and also very creepy.
I would recommend this series to anyone that likes Dean Koontz. If you have never read any of his books before and you like weird, then Frankenstein is a fabulous start. The Frankenstein series would also be ideal for people who like suspense, murder, gore, cloning, sci-fi, dark humor and guns. I would definitely read more books by Dean Koontz, and I already have read some. He has sort of a crazy, twisted imagination that produces insane and great novels. Somehow, if there are any more books with a related topic I would gladly find them and read them.
I think a lot of people would like to read this book because it’s very different. Then again, some might be hindered by my description of why others would like this book or series. Even if you don’t like blood, guts and gore, the creating people and direct to brain data downloading part is cool. The Frankenstein series is very engrossing and they are really difficult to put down. It has a few stories all going on at the same time and they are all connected in a way. The main characters in each part of the story are Carson O’Connor and Michael Maddison, Deucalion, Randal Six, Victor Helios (Frankenstein), Helios’s wife Erika Five, Benny Lovewell and Cindi Lovewell, and Nick Frigg and his garbage dump crew. The topic of this series is very interesting and unusual, it’s about one man creating the perfect race of people via tanks and vats to kill and replace humans, or the Old Race, with the people Victor has created to essentially take command over the world.

Great- but now I'm too scared to read them! It is a classic, though!
ReplyDeleteAs an aside, if you leave a double space between paragraphs, your words won't all glum together. It's easier to read with the spaces.
Nice work- you have me convinced!
That was a very good description of what is great about the book. You got me kinda interested. I also like how you described the authors style.
